VERFAHREN ZUR SYNCHRONISATION VON PROGRAMMEN AUF UNTERSCHIEDLICHEN COMPUTERN EINES VERBUNDES

The processing of instructions in a program (task A, . . . ) in one computer (A, . . . ) is interrupted when an instruction (syncpoint x, . . . ) occurs which requests synchronization with a program (task B, . . . ) on another computer (B, . . . ). A set of synchronization data (syncdata x, . . . ) for a program (task B, . . . ) on at least one other computer (B, . . . ) is then fed into a data interface (1, 3, 6) from each program involved, a change is made to a receive state, and the processing of the instructions in a program (task A, . . . ) is interrupted until a set of synchronization data (syncdata y, . . . ) has been received from programs (task B, . . . ) in the other computers (B, . . . )
